Radiating Christ

Dear Jesus,help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go.Flood my soul with Thy spirit and life.Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterlythat all my life may only be a radiance of Thine.Shine through me,and be so in me that every soul I come in contact withmay feel Thy presence in my soul.Let them look up and see no longer mebut only Jesus!

Stay with me,and then I shall begin to shineas Thou shinest,so to shine as to be a light to others;the light, O Jesus, will be all from Thee;none of it will be mine;it will be Thou shining on others through me.Let me thus praise Thee in the way Thou dost love bestby shining on those around me.Let me preach Thee without preaching,not by words but by my example,by the catching force of the sympathetic influenceof what I do,the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to Thee.

Please, Lord, a saint!
